pyrad.proc.process_spectra_point#

pyrad.proc.process_spectra_point(procstatus, dscfg, radar_list=None)[source]#

Obtains the spectra or IQ data at a point location.

Parameters:

  • procstatus (int) – Processing status: 0 initializing, 1 processing volume, 2 post-processing

  • dscfg (dictionary of dictionaries) –

    data set configuration. Accepted Configuration Keywords:

    datatype : string. Dataset keyword
    The data type where we want to extract the point measurement
single_point : boolean. Dataset keyword
    if True only one gate per radar volume is going to be kept.
    Otherwise all gates within the azimuth and elevation tolerance
    are going to be kept. This is useful to extract all data from
    fixed pointing scans. Default True
latlon : boolean. Dataset keyword
    if True position is obtained from latitude, longitude information,
    otherwise position is obtained from antenna coordinates
    (range, azimuth, elevation). Default False
truealt : boolean. Dataset keyword
    if True the user input altitude is used to determine the point of
    interest.
    if False use the altitude at a given radar elevation ele over the
    point of interest. Default True
lon : float. Dataset keyword
    the longitude [deg]. Use when latlon is True.
lat : float. Dataset keyword
    the latitude [deg]. Use when latlon is True.
alt : float. Dataset keyword
    altitude [m MSL]. Use when latlon is True. Default 0.
ele : float. Dataset keyword
    radar elevation [deg]. Use when latlon is False or when latlon is
    True and truealt is False
azi : float. Dataset keyword
    radar azimuth [deg]. Use when latlon is False
rng : float. Dataset keyword
    range from radar [m]. Use when latlon is False
AziTol : float. Dataset keyword
    azimuthal tolerance to determine which radar azimuth to use [deg].
    Default 0.5
EleTol : float. Dataset keyword
    elevation tolerance to determine which radar elevation to use
    [deg]. Default 0.5
RngTol : float. Dataset keyword
    range tolerance to determine which radar bin to use [m]. Default
    50.

  • radar_list (list of Radar objects) – Optional. list of radar objects

Returns:

  • new_dataset (dict) – dictionary containing the data and metadata at the point of interest

  • ind_rad (int) – radar index
